I wouldn't know since there are still a lot of black perch and brim being caught out that way 🤣. The white catfish is actually a bullhead and not closely related to channel or blue cats. They do get bigger than the brown bullheads and are pretty good to eat. White cats Since they are bullheads they have the rounded tail fin instead of the deeply cut tail fin of the channel catfish. They also have that rounded anal fin with about 20 anal fin rays vs the blue cat which has a lot more fin rays and the straight edge of the anal fin. snagged in outlet 3 and tjm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse are Missouri guys that believe what other Missouri guys tell them they are white cats. bfishn 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

MOPanfisher Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 There are so many different common or local names for fish it is amazing. I caught some black perch just the other day. Jack Salmon was always one of my favorite names. bfishn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
